BT. PAUL. May 31 A motive that Is
strongly augmented here of a railroad op
eration on the scale of the Northern 8e
uurltles company was announced by J. J.
Hill, chairman of the Great Northern Hall
way company today when In a typewritten
statement he announced the execution of a
$JO,OuO,000 flnt and refunding mortgage to
secure bonds for the Great Northern and
Chicago, Burlington tt yulncy railroads.
The statement follows:
"The Great Northern Railroad company
as of data May 1, has executed Its
first and refunding mortgage, securing a
total authorized issue of tauO.uuO.OOO bonds.
"The slfe o( the mortgage la explained
by the fact that outstanding obligation of
the company which are to be refunded
amount approximated to (33,000,000. In
cluded, however, In the figures last named
by the fact that outstanding obligations of
the company on the Uurllngton joint fours
maturing in 1921 and aggregating trs.400.0o0.
Covering a future of fifty years, approxi
mately 1270,000.000 In bonds therefore will
will be available for general corporate pur
poses, double tracking and additional mile
age. Since Its beginning thirty-two years
ago, the' Great Northern bas expended
between $&0.000,000 and t400.000.OUO out of the
capital and earnings. The provision made
for the future, In - consideration of the
rapidly , growing country which Great
Northern lines serve, would seem lntelli-1
gently conservative.
'The railway company evidently has
made ample financial provision to enable
It to keep Its facilities aad extensions equal
to all demands that ay rapidly growing
country may make on It and at the same
time, to maintain the highest and most ef
ficient standard of service. Future Uwu
ance of bonds against property acquired
la safeguarded by the restrictions usually
found In mortgages of this kind.
The Issue of $000,000,006 In bonds by tbs
Great Northern as announced by Chair
man J. J. Hill moans that a number of
large projects are la prospect, according
to a prominent official, woo by reason of
hla Intimate knowledge ef affairs declined
to a,ilor-hia dame, to k used. -,
first it means this taking; up of 330.000,00
of gold bonds ef the Great Northern, in
eluding f&2.uC.0t In bunds of the Burling
ton roa4. tor which the Great Northern is
responsible. '
According 'to this "official, it also means
that the Great Northern will take over the
'Chicago, Burlington tt Qulncy railroad,
separating It from the Northern Pacific
In view of the recent opinions of the
United Ftetee supreme court In defining
"reasonable restraint." it Is thought a mer
ger of the Great Northern and the Burling
ton railroads will be deemed a legal mer
ger. The fact that Mr. Hill has been plan
ning on acquiring absolute control of the
Burlington, releasing the Northern Pacific
of Its responsibility and control of that
line, has been a matter of common gossip
for some time. It has been reported that
he was simply waiting until the time would
be propitious for the consummation of
surh a deal. That time Is now quickly
approaching. It mar he two or three
years before It can be carried through
successfully, but that It la under way Is
regarded as certain by thuse who have
been watching the trend of events.

Mr. Bryan says:
"The unholy alliance which Senator

tematic course of fraudulent dealing with
Its cvsto era-has been, 'scanned In -district
court by judge Howard Kennedy aad, crim
inal prosecution may follow.
Harry Gross vtca president and stock
holder In the-company, brought action sev
eral weeks age for a receivership .for the
company, alleging that he had . been de
nied access to the books. At the same time
he filed a number of affidavits from em
ployes and customers charging gross fraud
on the part ; ef the management in short
weights.
' Although Judge Kennedy found, the com
pany solvent. Gross gained his point In se
curing an order commending that the of
ficers give htm access to the books, and
that they refrain from all dishonest prac
tices. ' In regard to the latter, the words
of the order were that It was evident
that "the management had been guilty of
a systematic course of fraudulent dealing
with its customers."
During the course of the case twenty-
three affidavits, containing . serious
charges, were filed by Martin L. 8ugar
man. Gross' attorney. Employes said that
general orders were to short-weight every
load by at least 300 pounds.
One practice charged was taking out
one or more wagon loads of sand from cars

be delivered. H. A. Hinzle. yard superin
tendent, averred that under the Instruc

getting the signature of the head plasterer
for the whole carload. Contractors on the

He is Confident Caucus Will Approve
Revenue Proposition Despite

WASHINGTON, May Jl. Speaker Champ
Clark declined positively to comment on the
Bryan appeal to the democrats not to
"masquerade" under the guise of a tariff
for, revenue only. In voting for the Un
derwood revision of tho wool aohedukt,
nor, would he discuss the reply to Mr.
Bryan -made-, last night by . the majority
leader. The speaker's close friends, recog
nizing that his present position is diffi
cult, have advised him against becoming
embroiled In the party fued.
- Chairman Underwood,' smarting under
the Bryan attack. Is exerting every, effort
now to ensure, a two-thirds vote of the
democratic members for the committee at
tomorrow's caucus.-
The bill closely resembles the Wilson bill,
except as to raw wool, -the duty on which
Is cut from the present rate of 11 cents
a pound to about S cents a pound.
Mr. Underwood's committee room pre
sented a busy roundup scene, democratic
members of the various state delegations
bring- summoned, in to test the poll of
strength In support of the schedules.. As a
result of the inquiry, Mr. Underwood re
mained firm tn his conviction that the bill
would be ratified by a big majority and
that Mr. Bryan's attitude would be demon
strated as at variance with the views of
the democratic honse.
Speaker Clark's attitude on the wool qui
tlon from the beginning was a conserva
tive one. He apparently stood firmly with
Mr. Underwood and other members of the
ways and means committee who Insisted
on uie necessity of a small duty for
revenue purposes on raw wool.

American Tobacco Common Sells Off
Eighty-Two Points After the
" Opening at Monday's Clos

NEW YORK. May 31. Indications of an
open market In the steel and Iron trsde
and the supreme court decision In the
American Tobacco Case, which Is regarded
on the exchange, as more drasti than that
agnmst Standard Oil. unsettled the stock
market to an unusual degree soon after
today's opening. The setback was the
more unexpected. Inasmuch as a number of
active Issues, chiefly standard railway
stocks, had made material gains over Mon
day in the London market, and these gains
were generally maintained here at the
opening todav.
Within the first hour, however, concen
trated selling of United States Steel
brought a sharp reversal all around, and
not only were early advances wiped out.
but very substantial losses substituted.
Aside from the movement In the active
Issues, dealings In American Tobacco se
curities were the most erratic. On the
"curb" American Tobacco common opened
at BOO, unchanged from Monday's closing,
but by 11:30 the stock had fallen 75 points
to 42S, and later dropped S2 points to 41$.
On the stock exchange dealings In the 4
and 6 per cent tobacco bonds were the most
active on the list, tho 4s advancing at
one time to 13H, a gain of 8'V and the s
falling off T points. Consolidated Tobacco

WASHINGTON. May 81 .-The recent de
cisions of the supreme court In the stand
ard Oil nnd American Tobacco cnaes will
result In a sweeping attempt to secure
criminal convictions ot Violators of tht
antl-trint law, according to Atlnrncy Gen
eral Wlckcrsham, who appeared today be-
j fore the house committee on expmditurcs
In the Department of Justice. ,
Mr. Wlckeisham was questioned chiefly
by Representative Benll of Texas, chair
man of the committee, concerning the sale
by tho government of filar lands In the
Philippines to the American Sugar Refln
Inif com nan v.
He said that Henry W. Taft had at one
time appenred as a special attorney for
the government against the "Licorice
trust," a part of the American Tobacca
company.
Mr. Wickersham was asked why the
government thus far had failed to lodge
any "trust magnates" In prison.
"We have done the best we could," he
said, but there has been an unwillingness
on the purt of Juries and courts to sen
tence men to prison under the anti-trust
law. Until the supreme court laid down
Its definite construction in the two cases
Just decided, their reluctance Was well
understood, for the law has always been
open to question and has been construed In
different ways by different courts. Juries
are becoming more willing now, , however,
to convict, and Judges who have been re
luctant to Impose prison penalties now
have the supreme court decisions to sus
tain them.
' Favors Prison Sentences.
Mr. Wickersham said he believed prison
sentences would be the ' most effective
means of enforcing respect for the anti
trust laws. Criminal prosecutions against
meat packers, milk dealers, grocers, the
naval stores and window glass combina
tion, and alleged violators of the anti-trust
law, he said, would be augmented by
other prosecutions. One this subject the ,
government had definite plans. Chairman
Beall asked why there had been no crim
inal proceedings against the heads ef the
Standard OH and '.Tobacco 4'prjyrf.Uona.
' "Jn view of thi fact that we have se
cured decisions tn these cases only within
the lant two weeks, It seems to me that
question answers Itself," said Mr. Wick
ersham. "Now, however, we have an In
terpretation of the anti-trust act on which
we can proceed."
The attorney general was closely ques
tioned by Mr. Beall as to the cotton cases
i In. New York, but he refused to disclose
the government's future action. Asked"
why actions were brought sgulnst those
seeking to elevate the price of raw cotton
rather than against the spinners and the
"bears" who were trying to depress It, Mr.
Wickersham said the government had be
lieved It much easier to reach the seven
men controlling the raw cotton pool and
gainst whom exact information was ob
tained.
"The statute of limitation has not run
against the other," he added.
"If the government Is sustained In this
first cotton esse the other combinations
may be attacked."
'Has there ever been any Investigation
of the attempt of bears to depress cotton
prices In New York and New Orleans?"
Chairman Beall asked.
"No, I have never had any facts brought
to my attention v that seemed to show a
violation of the anti-trust law In such mat
ters." Questions Abont "agar Trast.
Mr. Wlckershsm declared that after hs
became attorney general, John Henry Ham
mond represented Htrong and Cadwallader
as counsel for the so-called sugar trust In
the purchase of the friar lands. He added
that at the time he gave his opinion per
mitting the sale of these lands he did not
know that Hammond represented the pres
ident of the American Sugar Refining com
pany, Mr. Havemeyer.
When asked about the 'connection of the
firm with steel affairs, Mr. Wickersham
said:
"I personally have advised the United
Btates Steel corporation In one or two
matters."
"Did Btrong and Cadwallader ever repre
sent the New Tork Cotton exchange T"
asked Chairman Beall.
"Tea. Henry W. Taft was counsel for
the exchange." Mr. Wickersham replied,
"and I think he stilt continues In that
j rapacity."
I The chairman sought particularly to learn
I of the attorney general why the .depart
ment of Justice and Treasury department
accepted a tJOOO.OfO settlement from the
American Auger Refining company as
restitution for under-valuations at the port
of New lork. rather than enforce the
severe penalty provided for by law.
